Imagine being stranded with the legendary Joe Dolan in a rural pub in County Cavan on the night his car breaks down. That's just the sort of fantasy scenario that's imagined in "The Night Joe Dolan's Car Broke Down" a play by Padraic McIntyre. The play is set in 'The Glenaduff Inn' on a stormy St. Stephen's night as people gather to celebrate the 60th birthday of local 'cowboy' The Horse Munley. As the storm worsens and people head home, a knock on the door brings the night's entertainment to a new level. As the play unfolds so too do the secrets, the music and the craic.
